Boggus Deal

This is the scammer. He is well known over in the cowboy wire. Thought I’d share is info here. Bank name : PNC BANK Bank account owners name : Todd Allen German Bank Routing number :041000124 Bank account number : 4166665692

Folks, just like on the SASS Wire, there are scammers here, too. One reached out to Dusty Boddams about a deal he and I made 3-4 years ago. His info is going to the police and banks. He sent me his routing number and bank account.

One of the most revered gun hacks, I mean gunsmiths, on the SASS wire hade cut a dove tail in this ‘73 barrel that the sight would not stay in. They had peened it and lock tighted it. Still it wouldn’t stay. I made an oversized sight with a bigger bead that has been working great for a couple years now.

I can make a sight to fit the dovetail.

J.J. That bead is 14 carat gold. And while I’ve put on hundreds of sights like you posted, from several makers, I’ve found the three dot setup to be less than ideal for wild bunch. Too busy. To each their own, though. Without seeing your slide, yes, I would guess both front and rear dovetails would have to be milled.

I’ve found the round read to be a bit faster for Wild Bunch but the square bead I like better for precision. These are both 14 carat gold. Easily brightened up if they get dull.

I have 3 different widths of tenons but a dovetail is typically way better. It gives you a lot more options and stays in place.

I use a gold bead front sight that I make and U notch rear. Can post post pics a bit later.

There is a reason the target manufactures say 10 yards…

And being a shooter, I’d not return to a match because the targets were too close and dangerous before I’d not go to because I had a miss or two. But hey, if you can shoot, you can shoot. If you can’t well, you complain because the targets are too small or too far.

Does it really matter? When you’re standing there in front of a judge and he says “the target manufacturer said no closer than ten yards and you put them at three feet?”

Well… Having discussed this with all of the major steel target manufacturers in the country, they all say no less than ten yards for pistol targets. My suggestion is ten to fifteen yards for pistol targets.

Obviously, to me at least, there is something different. They can’t register here, yet can go to the cowboy wire, register, and are able to question registration here.

About every other day, there is a question posted on the SASS Wire about registering here. If SASS supports Wild Bunch so much, why do they make it SO hard for new shooters to register here? Is it a mistake or a deliberate attempt to do so? That’s a rhetorical question. CC? You have an answer? Just like the five years I hosted the New Mexico State Wild Bunch State Championship at Founder’s Ranch, just minutes away from the SASS headquarters and always offered free entry to the match, always a free dinner to anyone in the SASS office who would come. Want to guess how many ever showed up?

Why? Because it doesn’t fit your narrative? For 10-12 years, the national and world championships sell out. You change the rules and it doesn’t sell out, by a large margin. To me, that’s about as good a barometer as possible. Cause and effect.

Just like every other rule change made in the last ten years “to get people to try it”, thinking dropping the rifle power factor will get anyone to try it is just bull produced fertilizer. What it did do and will continue to do is drive dedicated shooters away. Just look at EOT 2024. What was it down? 50-60 shooters? EOT sold out last year at 175ish. This year there were just over 100 shooters. As I’ve stated many, many times, the same complainers will continue to complain and NOT shoot. The one big complainer over on the cowboy wire already said he still won’t shoot because he can’t have an ambi safety on his Traditional gun. He was also that said years ago he would shoot when he could load 7 in the mag. Guess what? He still don’t shoot it. And won’t. He’ll just keep whining. I’m not sure why he wanted seven in the magazine. He can’t count to five in his revolvers. How does he expect to count to seven in his magazines?

Any one that shoots a 10# recoil spring with even a 150PF is inviting trouble. Broken firing pin springs, frame, slide and barrel battering, short spring life.

PM sent!

I make and sell a couple weighted follower options.

Personally, I wouldn’t go to 20”. That feels too short and muzzle light to me. I like 22 at least. And even then I put weight in the magazine:

It wasn’t removed because as Happy Jack said, it’s never been legal.

Personally, I prefer to use what the man who developed and patented it called it. Thomas Crossly Johnson called it the cartridge cutoff. But what did he know?

Deacon, no link yet. PM me a number I can text or an email and I’ll send info. Thanks!

As long as it’s not a 3” Duck gun, I’ve not had a problem with anything 2 3/4” in mine and the ones I’ve built. some people will tell you need a shell guide on the carrier but I’ve only found them to be rarely needed. Some self proclaimed experts will tell you need to lean to gun over to the left to make them feed. You don’t. A plug for my firing pin here. It does make the gun work smoother, more reliable and unlike other replacement firing pins on the market, you can dry fire it until your arms wear out and not break it.

The minutes conclude that a safety check will make malfunction clearing(MC) safer. Has no one thought that through? Fireball, no, they haven’t…. Most of the current rule makers never could shoot Wild Bunch, for one excuse or another. And while it’s not hard to have a weigh in at one stage, during a match. You are correct. It’s not hard to catch weighted magazines during a match. I’ve caught people trying to run weighted magazines. Typically, it was either a shooter from another sport …
